About Me

I am an adventurer and a bookworm so my interest in foreign languages came naturally. I lead an active life as a sailor and climber but I also enjoy spending time at home with books, films and music. My interest in psychology is satisfied in my job as all students are different and demand individual care. All in all, teaching is a perfect combination of working, learning and having fun because it opens up so many opportunities both for teacher and student.

Hello friends! my name is sun I am currently completing my master's degree in Latin American Studies at the University of Leiden. If you want to learn or improve your Spanish, do not hesitate to contact me! Spanish is my mother tongue and if you just want to practice, we can also organize some more informal conversations in which I can correct your mistakes by talking about reading or just about something you enjoy. Also, if you are already a Spanish student, I can help you correct your mistakes to improve your academic writing. In addition, if you like Latin American culture and would like to know more about it, we can also schedule a couple of basic lessons about it and make a personal program with the topics you like.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

Ciao a tutti! My name is Francesca I am an Italian mother tongue student currently living in the cloudy Netherlands.
I left my beautiful Rome to pursue my studies in the pretty little town of Leiden, in the Netherlands.
I graduated from Classical high school in Italy where I intensively studied Italian literature, Latin and Ancient Greek for five years.
I adore the Italian language and my goal is to give others the chance to learn even a bit of it by giving weekly individual lessons.
As I am a 22 years old outgoing student, don't wory, classes won't be hard! Thre won't be any examination but I could give you a personal progress report at some point if you like!
Hope to see many of you!

Studying Italian will open a gateway for you onto one of the world's most beautiful languages and one of its richest cultures. Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy.

I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.

My goal is to provide students with the knowledge and experience to communicate fluently in Spanish, by having fun and an enjoyable experience. During the class, the students will have the opportunity to practice their speaking, listening, reading, and writing, by communicating and learning from a Colombian native speaker.

Are you ready to start your journey into the Chinese language and culture?

Hi, everyone! I’m a passionate Chinese tutor with 3 years of teaching experience, and I also speak English and Italian fluently. My classes are designed to be interactive, engaging, and tailored to your personal learning style.

Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to improve your speaking, listening, reading, or writing skills, I will guide you step by step with clear explanations and practical examples.

Here’s how I can help you:
- HSK Exam Preparation – step-by-step practice in listening, speaking, reading, and writing to help you pass with confidence.
- School & University Exam Support – focused lessons to review vocabulary, grammar, and test strategies so you can achieve higher grades.
- Daily Communication – improve your speaking and listening for travel, business, or everyday life in China.
- Young Learners – fun, creative lessons for children, with games, songs, and activities to build interest and a strong foundation in Chinese.
- Cultural Insights – learn the “why” behind the words: traditions, customs, and modern Chinese culture.

* No previous knowledge of Chinese is required — just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm.
* I provide personalized learning materials and homework to help you practice outside class.
* If you have specific goals (travel, business, exams, or cultural interest), I will adapt the lessons to meet your needs

This French class focuses on building strong foundations in grammar, communication, and spoken French. Learners will develop their ability to understand and use French in everyday situations through interactive activities, practical exercises, and guided conversation. The course is designed to improve speaking confidence, pronunciation, and overall language accuracy, suitable for beginners and learners looking to strengthen their communication skills.

ITALIAN.
For different skill levels: From basic introduction to in-depth exploration of the language, its history and development, Latin etymologies, examples in literature (classic, modern and contemporary).

If you have interest in this language for either practical purposes or passion, but in any case you like to learn beyond the surface, learning with me is a good choice.

The class includes blocks of Italian grammar, syntax, lexicon, as well as writing, reading and oral practice.

For further interest the class can go in depth consulting literary texts from classical authors such as Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio as well as modern authors such as Manzoni, D'Annunzio, Pirandello, and even more recent ones such as Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Pier Paolo Pasolini. I am open to consult Italian texts (as well proposed by the student) and together conduct an analysis of their use of Italian, in relation to each text's specific historical and geopolitical context.

I am Italian of origins, I speak fluent English and basic French. I have a strong interest in language and literature, culture and visual arts.
